To celebrate National Recycling Day, the Los Angeles Rams, Ball Corporation, and SoFi Stadium hosted over 300 fourth-grade students from the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) for its fourth annual Recycling Combine. The annual event highlights the importance of recycling and sustainability, while offering young students a unique, hands-on learning experience. National Recycling Day is a country-wide initiative to promote recycling and reduce waste.
The event kicked off with a tour of SoFi Stadium, where students were educated about recycling and sustainability in their community by learning about the process of a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM), various recycling education demonstrations and the 'Recyclaw' challenge.
Rams running back Kyren Williams joined the event alongside mascot Rampage as they participated in the 'Recyclaw challenge and other activities that helped teach students how to properly identify the recycling bins. To cap off the event, the students participated in a PLAY 60 football clinic on the field, led by Williams before enjoying a lunch provided by Rams partner El Torito.
